00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.800
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:16.820
The consequences of the Incident of the Slander (al-Ifk) serve as an example of the Sunnah of Allah intending good for the believers.

00:00:16.820 --> 00:00:20.820
Among the practical examples illustrating this Sunnah:

00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:24.820
Mentioning the aspects of good that resulted from the Incident of the Slander.

00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:26.820
Among these are:

00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:27.820
First:

00:00:27.820 --> 00:00:31.820
The attainment by the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:00:31.820 --> 00:00:36.820
And his chaste and pure wife, the Mother of the Believers, ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her,

00:00:36.820 --> 00:00:39.820
And her father, the Truthful (al-Siddiq), may Allah be pleased with him,

00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:42.820
Of a great reward.

00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:49.109
This is the recompense for their patience regarding the harm they suffered from this slander and fabrication.

00:00:49.109 --> 00:00:50.109
Second:

00:00:50.109 --> 00:00:53.109
The emergence of the false accusation into the open.

00:00:53.109 --> 00:00:57.109
This prevented the accusation from remaining hidden in the hearts of some,

00:00:57.109 --> 00:01:00.109
And the resulting skepticism toward the religion

00:01:00.109 --> 00:01:04.109
That would have arisen from whispering slanders against its carriers.

00:01:04.109 --> 00:01:05.370
Third:

00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:09.370
The revelation of the verses following the story of the Slander,

00:01:09.370 --> 00:01:13.370
Which exonerated Lady ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.

00:01:13.370 --> 00:01:18.370
This was a great honor for her and for the family of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:01:18.370 --> 00:01:24.689
As they were distinguished by verses praising them that will be recited until the Day of Resurrection.

00:01:24.689 --> 00:01:25.689
Fourth:

00:01:25.689 --> 00:01:27.689
Another aspect of this honor is

00:01:27.689 --> 00:01:34.689
That the revelation of these verses became a defining marker in the matters of disbelief and faith.

00:01:34.689 --> 00:01:39.689
For anyone who slanders Lady ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, regarding the Slander

00:01:39.689 --> 00:01:45.909
Becomes a disbeliever for denying verses from the Noble Qur’an.

00:01:45.909 --> 00:01:46.909
Fifth:

00:01:46.909 --> 00:01:51.909
The delay of revelation in responding to the story of the Slander for an entire month

00:01:51.909 --> 00:01:56.909
Provides evidence that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, did not possess knowledge of the unseen.

00:01:56.909 --> 00:02:02.909
For had he known, he would have announced the innocence of his wife from the very beginning,

00:02:02.909 --> 00:02:09.909
Without the harm and suffering he endured from the slanders against her, may Allah be pleased with her.

00:02:09.909 --> 00:02:15.909
Thus, it is forbidden for Muslims to exaggerate regarding the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:02:15.909 --> 00:02:18.909
Or to claim that he possessed knowledge of the unseen.

00:02:18.909 --> 00:02:23.490
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
